September heralds the start of a new school year, and although it can be an exciting time, for some children it's just plain difficult. Many children seem to struggle with anxiety and stress at the start of a new school year. There are many reasons for this and often they are too young to explain what they are feeling and fearing. This can be distressing not only for the child but also the parent who may feel helpless to ease their child's struggle. The fact is they have to go into school at the start of the day no matter how much they may cry and cling to you. Not easy.

I'm a mum and know first hand how difficult and exhausting this experience is. My son struggled with back to school stress every year. He loves school but found that initial separation difficult after the long fun school holidays. I have no magic cures but I have found a number of ways to help my son manage stress and overcome anxiety during this time.

After lots of talking and trying to understand why he was so anxious I decided to try some of the tools I use to help with stress and anxiety. Massage and reflexology can help a child to manage their stress. Baby massage and baby reflexology isn't just for babies! It's great for children of all ages. Some calming reassuring massage for just a few minutes accompanied by lots of positive words about their ability to cope can be a powerful tool.

And finally, don't forget your own needs. It can be draining and painful when our children are suffering and struggling so take time out to relax yourself. It can be hard to remember to be kind to yourself and not to feel guilty for leaving them at school.
